EXPECT TO BE BLESSED

FROM DEVOTIONAL BOOK "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"



I have promised that all your needs shall be met, and I will not turn a deaf ear to your cries. When you call Me, I will hear and answer. I want you to start expecting to receive an answer. Expect to hear My voice; expect to be blessed. Why do you pray and do not get ready to be blessed? You pray without expectation. You should know by now, My promises are true. I am Jehovah Jireh, Your Provider.

I need you to trust Me. Let Me lead and guide you. I long to whisper words of love and affection in your ear. I promised that I would not leave you comfortless. You must believe what you have asked for will come to pass. You must not doubt. Expect to be blessed. Trust in Me, do not be moved by what your circumstances dictate, and do not be moved by what you feel.

Be confident that I have risen in your midst to bring healing, to bring salvation, to bring victory and counsel to those in need. Even now, I am interceding for you, and My Father heareth My prayers. I expect you to pray to Me, and you must expect to receive your blessings when you pray.

Know that I have heard your prayers, and I am bringing all you ask to pass. I am bringing about a complete change in your life. Trust in Me and believe I am faithful to do those things I have promised to do. Expect Me to bring the natural in alignment with the spiritual. I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Moses; is there anything too hard for Me? Expect to be blessed

DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO LOSE HEART

FROM DEVOTIONAL "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"

You are feeling pressure from all around, and you are being tempted to lose heart. Please do not let that happen. The enemy is creeping around you; sneaking in the dark, seeking ways to kill, steal, and destroy everything about you. He never sleeps nor rests from his diabolical plot against you. This is old news; nothing is new about his tactics, and you should not be surprised by anything that he tries.

You have power over the enemy; I gave it to you when I rose on the third day. You must begin to use the authority I gave you to defeat him every time he comes around. Remember this; his greatest weapons are lies and deceit. He has nothing new to use. He would love to see you give up and sit down, for that would mean certain victory for him. However, I did not create you to quit. When I rose the third day, I gave you victory over the enemy. The enemy of your soul is already defeated. Do not allow him to gain any advantage over you. Stand your ground against him and refuse to give him any satisfaction; he has no authority over you.

Remember, to watch and be prayerful. Never give him a place in your life through unrighteous thoughts, words, or deeds. That is the only way he can win. The blood of the Lamb and your testimony made you an overcomer. You have all the authority you need to stand and resist the enemy. So, do not be tempted to lose heart. Keep pressing forward. Keep believing.
